Still Can’t Walk!
Well, it’s been 7 weeks since i brook my leg and i’m still crutching it. urrggg!!!!!!! I hate this. I definitely don’t take anything for granted anymore, even laundry. lol
I started physio this week and man is it painful. I was trying to switch the crutches for a cane but no go. Apparently i’ve got a long way to go with my recovery. There seems to be some issues with my PCL as well. My understanding is that damage to the PCL is rare and difficult to fix. I know that ACL injuries are common but mine is only strained.
Surgery was tossed back and forth after the accident due to my tibial plateau being impacted but the doctor says my femur and tibia are sitting pretty so no surgery. Now there’s a chance of surgery again due to the PCL. sigh…
I’ve gained some weight and lost a ridiculous amount of muscle in my right leg. I try flexing my quads and it just twitches. It’s kind of funny to look at but strange at the same time. I have no control over my leg anymore.
I asked if i could go back to the gym and i was told no.
I have to try.
I’m back at work on modified duties of course. Safety officers have to be able to walk around a construction site. (If you’re on my page for the first time, yes, i broke my leg on my construction site where i’m the safety officer.) I’m working in an office doing a lot of paper work. I don’t mind paper work but i don’t think i could do office work full time, all the time. I like to move around.
Well, that’s all for now.
